Be it known ilnit 1, WILLIAM LE Ferguson, in the conni'y of St. Louisanal State of Missouri, have invented curtain new and useful Inpmvnienis in 'iickotdiizn chines,-0I" Wi'iicl'i'the following i5 :1.spcciii cation.

This invention relaies io certain new and. 'isei'u-l improvements inticket-vending: and regista-ring machines, and is aarticniiirly winptedfor 139 in connection with he ticket-vending and registering muchinflint plication.

' and is guided in its movement by iii. Min )i'efui'zibiv oioi'ziinilova I a 4 k not. shown) and connoc'ocl 'clmm 'i09 or other Slllilfill'l.
